We really should have scored twice in that half. Tevez scuffed one, and Chiellini scuffed the next on that free kick. We're playing very poorly, but the lack of poise when we get the ball in the box is appalling.

Pirlo off for marchisio ogbonna off for giovinco and a switch to a 4 man defence 433 sequel with gio and tevez off Morata.

We have to start playing attacking football if we are to get anywhere.
5 defenders and a regista DOES NOT CUT IT IN EUROPE AGAINST PACEY WINGERS!!!

Formation is the least of our problems.

One again in Europe we are completely change our mentality. We have not shown any ambition or aggression and are so wasteful with the ball.

Pirlo has been abysmal, I honestly don't think I have ever seen him play so badly.

On a the positive, there have been at least 3 occasions where we had a good chance but blew it with an overhit pass.

It seems our best chance of a goal is from corners though, they don't seem to deal with them well. Maybe this is the reason Pirlo is playing because there is no other reason to play a guy in bad form/coming off an injury instead of one of our best players this season.

Sack less, dreadful.
Basically what we have seen in almost all CL matches for the past years.

No need to point the finger to one or some specific person, because obviously there is not single person or aspect of the game remotely to be OK, let alone positive.
I expect a quick 2-0 and some cards flying around for the second half, nothing more. Would be nice to be pleasantly surprised for a change.
what :p

Why was our "goal" disallowed?
offside, clear as day

And $#@! all of those who say the 3-5-2 isn't the problem. It's so easy to defend against.
3-5-2 isn't the problem... Our variation on 3-5-2 and turning it into a strange uber-passive formation with wing backs as our creative outlet is the problem. 3-5-2 done properly can work very well. AKA Netherlands variation on it, and Bayern's variation on it against Roma.
